Contentions

Compared to Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi was the model of bipartisan cheer. Harry Reid scolds Lamar Alexander, saying that the Republicans aren’t entitled to their own facts. No clue which particular facts he is so aggrieved about. And he, too, is back to the sob stories. Reid defends the use of reconciliation, saying it’s been used before. I think every moment spent defending the process of jamming through a bill on partisan lines is probably a lost one for the Democrats. One basic observation: Reid seems awfully mad and grumpy. Maybe there are some more bad poll numbers from his Senate race.
